Goldne Sterne, blaue Glöckchen, Wieviel wonnevolle Kelche! Welche Schimmerpracht, ach, welche Samtenen und seidnen Röckchen! Blaue Glöckchen, goldne Sterne, Tausend Blüten seh ich winken, Weiche Blüten nah und ferne, Nur aus einer sollt ich trinken? Daß ich das doch nimmer lerne! ... Goldne Sterne ... Blaue Glöckchen ...

Étoiles dorées, petites cloches bleues, Combien de coupes pleines de bonheur,, Quelle splendeur radieuse, ah ! Quelles jupes de velours et de soie ! Petites cloches bleues, étoiles dorées, Je vois des milliers de fleurs qui font des signes, Des fleurs tendres proches et lointaines, Seulement à l'une d'elles, je boirais, C'est ce que je n'apprendrai jamais ! Étoiles dorées... Petites cloches bleues..
